I have sumarized everything I know so far into this character and into this build. Unfortunately this character is fresh out of the academy and I don't have any good deflectors or engines as well as any consoles etc. Gonna be a couple weeks before I really start to get this one sorted.
Pics:
Came with the name Taft but I changed it. Kinda for the back hull rigging, Armadillo sounded gay so...
Its a real bastard child too. Saucer is from a Sovereign class, Hull and Pylons are from a Noble class, Warp Nacelles are off a Regent Class and the section holding the saucer to the hull is from an Imperial class ship.
Weapons:
Never in my life would I have run single cannons until recently. They do less damage but have a 180 degree arc instead of 45. When it comes to a slow moving ship like this these can mean the difference between doing damage and not.
This ship is also sporting a native but unique torpedo launcher that has a 180 degree firing arc instead of the usual 90. Because of this I also went with an odd choice. In order to keep subsystem targeting abilities but not take away from the front setup I put a beam array on the back. With a 270 degree arc the moment an escort gets out of my nose to try and hide safely out of my weapons range BAM high potential subsystem disables become available.
Anyways the first space combat ever and pretty much the first combat this char has seen since it hit level 50. Borg Elite STF, If I remember she didn't die which is nothing special but better than my average performance:

No one should watch that video BTW, even for STO guys its BORING!
